They may flash rust with the water, but no mater what you rinse them with, they will eventually get wet anyway. If your plan is to paint them, there are a number of paints that don't mind a little bit of flash rust...in fact they prefer it for adhesion.
I'll have to check some of the feed supply places here. For that kind of money, why not.

track bath
I read here somewhere that molasses will unfreeze Carrier tracks.
May the author please chime in with your experience . How long does it take ?

Just saw a post dated 25- 12 - 2016 by Mike Kelly on the subject.
Also saw a post by David Dunlop 03-03 -16. Only question that remains is how much water do i add to the 20 Gallons of molasses i have already poured on the tracks ? Any ideas, suggestions, guesses ?

I did it with a ford dist timing fixture, ran the pics here a few years back. brilliant process.
Mixed about 25/75 water, just watch the fun happen. pull some out after about a week and do a test clean..you can always put it back. Didnt touch brass, paint, or, surprisingly, decals.. It will rust quickly after you clean and dry it.. 13 july 1.jpg 15 July 4.jpg 15 July 8.jpg

molasses, it's nice untill it stinks
I too have had track in Molasses, almost a year now with good results. The track was brand new however had been garden edging for 60 years at a guess. It is due to be taken out and waterblasted again soon as it builds up a black slime whilst soaking. I am unsure of the ratio however two 20kg containers of molasses is all I could afford at the time. soaking in a mix all up at approx 700 litres.
I did smell sweet for a while now it is something un human. I have it at work well ventelated next to a golf course and often see golfers checking there shoes for dog shit😂.

But what is your recipe for molasses cookies?
Hi
Interesting thread, but what do you do with the residue afterward? I've only had to deal with small amounts which I let evaporate and then throw out with the trash. But 55 gallons plus the dissolved rust think my trash guy would object. Cheers Phil
